There is nothing terribly exciting going on here. I knit on my Skinny Starving Artist on my commute today.
And I worked on my Twisty Aran at home.
The poor Twisty Aran has been languishing on the needles far too long, thanks to my knitting hiatus courtesy my broken hand. I’m hoping to get it done soon and move on to something else.
In other news, Lucy had her annual visit to the vet yesterday for check-up and shots. And of course she got weighed.
Would anyone like to hazard a guess how much she weighs?

Lucy sez:
“This is so embarrassing . . .”
My guess is 10.6 pounds, for no other reason that that is how much my Gracie weighs.
11.4
Lucy’s quite active. I’ll guess 8.3 lbs.
I’ll guess 10.5 lbs – which in my household would qualify her as a featherweight.
Sorry Lucy…you look a lot like our Katie so I’m guessing 13.6 lbs.
8.6 lbs. for our dainty Lucy. She is so photogenic….
My guess is 8.4 lbs. I have dogs, so it’s really just a guess…
Poor Lucy, having everyone chatting about her weight. ;^)
She looks pretty ‘fluffy’ but I’m going to guess that she is svelt under all that fur….Guessing 13.6 – okay so that isn’t so svelt for a kitty, but I did not want to hurt her tender feelings. =^)
Very eager to see your Twisted Aran when you are done.
I’m going to venture a guess of 9.7 pounds.
Christy´s last [type] ..Best Fortune Cookie EVER
I’m used to big males of 20 to 25 pounds so Lucy looks like a bitty thing to me. I’ll go with 9.9 because I don’t really know a cat that petite!
I’m a dog person, but I’ll guess (and, Lucy, please forgive me if I’m off in the wrong direction) 11.3 pounds.
Hmmm, how about 10.9 pounds?
I’m guessing 14.4 pounds. She’s a beautiful kitty!
Fluff can be deceiving… 8.8 lbs.
My guess is 15 lbs.
Laura´s last [type] ..Today’s Picture
She’s a dainty little thing, so I’m going with 7.6 lbs.
8.6 pounds. But I know she’s not as big as she looks, due to the fluffies and all. Twisty Aran is looking great!
14.2 pounds
I will guess 14.2 pounds.
Love the skinny starving artist! and I don’t think Lucy is starving so I guess a beautiful 11.1 pounds.
I will go for 8.9 pounds.
I’m guessing 9.2 pounds… maybe
16.7
My little furball covers about the same amount of chair as Lucy. My guess is 11.4 lbs. (And I know exactly which pattern I will request!) Thanks, Wendy!
Gizmo whispered in my ear that Lucy couldn’t possibly weigh more than 8.75 pounds, cause she’s just purr-fect!
I’ll guess 12.6 pounds
I’m going to guess 11.2 pounds. Lucy has a lot of long hair and looks big but probably isn’t.
so sorry, Lucy, but I have to go with 12.3
Ooh! 7 lbs 6 oz… that’s how much my daughter weighed in at when she was born.
12.5 pounds
Lynneth´s last [type] ..Knitting Podcasts
My guess is 9.7 lbs. She’s got a lot of hair but hair doesn’t weigh very much.
9.4 pounds
7.3 Brave Lucy for sharing with us!
She is fluffy and although she has lots of it, attitude doesn’t weigh much, but my guess is 12.2 pounds.
Leslie McSorley´s last [type] ..Ooops!
I’ll go with 11.7 pounds. Pretty kitty.
She looks very petite but it is hard to tell from pictures. Ragdolls are largish, but I just feel that Lucy is petite for her breed (don’t know why I think that, but I just do). My own cat was at the vet today and weighed 10 lbs even so that is going to be my guess.
Whatever her weight, she is beautiful. My long-haired cat Duke likes looking at pictures of her on the computer. I think he has a crush on her. Maybe because her tail is fluffy like his!
Is she a big beautiful kitty, or all fur? lol I have some fluffy kitties like that, and my female is about 13 lbs. I’m guessing 12.9. We love you, Lucy.
11.9 lbs.
Well I have 5 cats…in various sizes. Not sure if there is an advantage or not?
Put me down for 11.9 pounds please.
I’m going guess 12.4 including all the fur. ha ha
I think she’s smaller than she looks. So I’m guessing 10.3 lbs.
My guess is 10.4 pounds, because she looks just slightly larger than mine who is 10 pounds.
10.9 pounds
hmmm 12.5 lbs. She looks about the same size as my Maizy
My guess is 11.7 lbs. I figure she has to be between my two somewhere.
Lucy looks like she’s around 14.9 pounds.
11.4 lbs
southparknitter´s last [type] ..Double Double Dressin’ Trouble
I’ll guess 11.7 pounds. She’s so floofy, its hard to tell.
My guess is 9.6 pounds.
Such a beautiful kitty she is and your (her) comments each day make me smile. I am going to guess 14.2. My kitty is 17 and doesn’t look it, so I’m hoping I’m close, for my sake, not hers. She is just adorable. Take it easy knitting with your healing hand. I admire that you can knit so many things – so quickly. My right arm tendinitis doesn’t allow me to knit much anymore and I have a WHOLE ROOM full of yarn. Donations, donations, donations!
I’ll go with 14.3
I think her fluffiness is deceptive. I’ll guess 8.7 lbs.
My guess is 11.4. Pleasingly Plump!!
I’m going to say 10.5 pounds
I will say 10.9 pounds
I’m guessing 15.5 pounds. I know ragdolls are a little hefty (nothing against Ms. Lucy) and that’s about what my friend’s ragdoll weighs
Best guess – 13.3 pounds. But it can be so hard to tell….
wild ass guess–9.75 pounds
I am going by the other female ragdoll that I know and I guess 8.7 pounds. Whatever her weight is, she looks awesome.
I would say about 10.8 pounds.
I’d guess 10.5. Whatever her weight, she is beautiful.
I’m going with 11.9 even though the floof makes her look a tad larger
I think Lucy is all fur. My guess is 7.2 lbs.
14.4 pounds. Ragdolls are big girls.
I’m going to say 10.5 lbs.
Elly B.
My guess is 8.1 pounds. Being a girl, she’ll probably weigh less than boys (my boy is 16 pounds!), and while she has a lot of fur, she’s probably still pretty dainty. Of course with the Wildside Salmon, she can’t be too dainty.
she looks about the same size as my mom’s cat, guessing 12.8
7.4
11.6
8.3 pounds (meredith whispered that to me)
My guess is 11.7 pounds.
Mmmm, compared to my 75 pound puppy, she seems awfully small, I’d say 12.4 pounds?
I think the Lovely Lucy weighs 12.7 pounds. (pronounced “sebben”)
What ever the scale says, she is just right for keeping warm and snuggley.
Hummm. There is a lot of fur there so I’m thinking she looks like she weighs more then she does. My guess is 9.7#. Lucy is too cute for words
)
Guessing 8.7 long hair makes the difference
The fur hides her…………..my guess is 7.4
I think she’s probably 17.7 or pretty close. She looks solid and not fa…fluffy!
Jeanie Babbage´s last [type] ..…but we didn’t get winter!!!
I’m guessing 9.3 lbs. She looks like she’s mostly fluff. I used to tell my 20.5 lb girl kitty that she wasn’t fat….just fluffy.
Lucy’s weight, I am going to go with 9.55 Lbs. I think she is just the right weight for her!
It’s hard to tell with so much floofiness! So my wild guess is 9.2 pounds.
janna´s last [type] ..In the mail
I would say maybe 9.9
Hattie´s last [type] ..Baby Mittens
It’s very hard to tell on a fluffly cat, but my last baby (cat) weighed 15.8 without the fluff. I’m going to guess Lucy at 14.2 We love big kitties at our house – and they all seem to grow that way around here….thanks for the chance at your beautiful patterns!
11.2 lbs. Wild eyed guess, but we know it is all MUSCLE from kneading your knitted items and furniture.
I’m betting that the lovely Lucy is mostly hair, so I’ll guess 7.9 pounds.
Carla´s last [type] ..We Interrupt This Blog For
I’m gonna guess 8.25 lbs, no reason, just sayin…
Lucy is so elegant and lovely. I’m going to guess 11.4 lbs.
Based on my own fluffy one, I say 13.1 lbs.
It’s my best guess that Lucy weighs 11.9 pounds!
Beth´s last [type] ..My Birthday Is This Week-end

8.3 pounds!
10,6 pounds
Does the adorable sweetheart know you’re about to post her weight on the internet? Perhaps you could just whisper it quietly to us.
I think the kitty weighs in at 17.3 lbs. My cat is larger. LOL Beth
How about 9.2 pounds? Lucy is pretty furry.
I guess 10.2 lbs. Don’t feel too bad, Lucy, you’re beautiful no matter what you weigh LisD in upstate NY
Oh fluffycat – we need to see you wet! She can’t possibly be as heavy as my Nicky,so….. 13.2. Can’t wait…weight….to hear.
I know nothing about cats so 11.6. Only because she looks happy and sassy!
I have a Birman who looks very much like Lucy. (very floofy) I am going to guess 10.8 lbs.
13.2 pounds. By proportion, she looks pretty similar to my ragdoll. And remember people, for a Ragdoll cat, anything under 15 lbs is downright svelte!
